I think our senior listed guys are improving. Ben & Lucas impressed though Lucas gives his kicks too much air. Wilson was much improved, especially early. Lemmey and Monaghan did some good things too. McMahon and Philips stood up. Duffy had a couple of good moments, particularly a spoil in the last Q.
It is disappointing that Wannon MP Dan Tehan has ruled himself out of the Liberal leadership contest. Apart from the fact that he is a Victorian, Tehan is a genuine, hard working, thoughtful person who isn't involved in the culture wars and is always respectful of others while vigorously pursuing genuine liberal ideals.
The Taylor-Price team seems likely to prevail and I don't think that's good news for anyone.
What's wrong with Jacinta Price DJ? I don't know a heck of a lot about her but I thought she was excellent during the referendum.
My issue with her is that she is constantly fighting, family, political opponents (from any party…) she doesn’t build consensus with anyone. I expect politicians to work with and unite people, she divides.
My favourite part was the long kick down the line to Charlie Curnow who somehow was outnumbered 3 to 1 and being held at every contest. Beyond that, the occasional kick it to motlop who was standinga gainst a much taller opponent. Probably needed to skid the ball in along the ground with some mongrel kicks at ground level and create some chaos, but our team doesnt seem to like that approach.
While I generally agree, I think we are pretty good at giving leading players chaos balls instead of lace out…
I think Gov cost us 1/2 doz goals because sos wasn't there and he needed to step up and failed. The small forwards failed because we didn’t have the space and composure to target them as we had done in the previous weeks, back to blindly bombing it in… We just never possessed the ball long enough to contemplate a forward handball or a targeted entry. Beyond that, the list is no good, the coaches are pretenders that play favorites and the bootstudder is a dead man walking… and don’t get me started on Brad Lloyd 🤦🏼♂️
What do you mean Dutton didn’t have a coherent plan for nuclear ?
He said he could build them quicker than the countries with experience building them and cheaper… ! Dutton was obviously the man for the job ! 🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️
the player who may come under consideration is Evans who won the ball ok but couldnt hit the scoreboard and finish his work. I wouldnt select him but given the Crows torched us around the packs and our small forwards were AWOL he may get a call up. Small forwards had little or no chance when we weren't getting centre clearances.
Lemmey just spends too much time unable to get near the ball and is pushed aside by smaller players in contests. Situation normal. Id be playing Lemmey down back in the VFL in the second half of the season as a last resort to see if he can make it. Been there; done that.
The small forwards didn’t get much attention in the 1’s either.
Not only that - but who really cares. It is not important that he wore a blue suit (as did William, and Biden a blue tie). It's not like he wore shorts and a t shirt.
When people get tied up with this bs, the real issues get tucked away.
Its because so many are obsessed by the guy that his every word, every action and now even what he wears is analyzed to the enth degree.
If only our local politician's were grilled with the same passion.
Do you want to check in with Julia Gillard about that ?
I agree its a nothing burger but it also speaks for his lack of care and respect for well, anyone and everything thats not Donald Trump...
